Back Pain

Back pain can be a complex problem that can have a significant impact on your quality of life. Often there can be multiple contributing factors that need to be considered in order to achieve an optimal outcome. Structures that can commonly cause back pain include the joints, ligaments, muscles, discs and nerves. It has also been clearly demonstrated that other things, such as sleep quality, stress, work conditions, activity levels and overall well being can influence your pain.

85% of the population experience low back pain at some point so it is the most common condition we see. As a result, we have an excellent understanding of how to identify the causes of the condition and are passionate about delivering the best treatment for your problem. At Geelong Performance Physio we will always go the extra mile to not just understand your back pain but to get a bigger picture understanding of you too. This allows us to help structure appropriate rehabilitation specific to you, your individual needs and your relevant goals. Treatment may include hands-on therapy, massage, joint mobilisations and dry needling for pain relief as well as exercises, activity programs and graded functional restoration to improve your mobility, strength and function.
